…even though I LOST [sad horn sound]. But in all honesty, the real disappointment for me would’ve been if I hadn’t been a finalist. I was counting on that shit! I just wanted a chance to go to the awards and see how the other half lives. So what can I say? I looked like […]
2 CommentsBackwoods has been nominated for a Lambda Literary Award! This means I get to attend the awards ceremony in June in New York City and prepare my Oscar speech.

They’ll announce five or so finalists eventually, so we’ll see. 2) Dennis Cooper, one of my literary heroes, listed […]
